For example, before the fix, you could face the following issue: Create a bunch of boxes with @create:
box, box1, box2, box3 ... Now try to examine 'box'. This would not work - the game would tell you that there
were multiple matches - it just found "box" in all entries and went with that. So despite there only being one
thing named solely "box", you could not target it! This fix resolves this by giving precedence to exact matches
whenever they exist. I have only done it for the support routine behind local_and_global_search() though, there
are other search functions that uses django directly for fuzzy __in searches. I don't know how to add a similar
functionality to them.
/Griatch
Added some more helper commands and changed a bit under the hood on those
previously committed for mapping irc/imc channels to each other.
There seems to be an issue with IMC2 users seeing an echo back to themselves when talking. Investigating.
/Griatch
* Two channels are now created by initial_setup.py for informative emits: MUDConnections and MUDInfo.
* MUDConnections now shows a connection/login/logout log.
* MUDInfo shows general informative messages about the server state. For now IMC emits here when things happen (connection, disconnection, etc.).
Eventually we'll want to restrict these to staff only, but it's not high priority atm.
* Added the automatic cleaning/pruning code to weed out entries that are probably disconnected.
* Added 'imcwhois <player>' command. Still needs some sanitizing on the outgoing string.
* Added the beginnings of a -reply packet handler through reply_listener.py.
* Fleshed out a few more packets in packets.py.
Next up: Make the ANSI system a little more modular. Create a class for ANSI tables so developers can pick and choose different tables on their own, but keep the same API. This will be used so we don't have to copy/paste src/ansi.py to src/imc2/ansi.py and duplicate stuff.
